Council approves FY 2025–26 employee handbook change allowing returning employees to retain prior leave accrual if rehired within one year
Summary
City council approved the personnel policy handbook for FY 2025–26, adding a provision allowing employees who return to city employment within one year to keep their previous leave accrual schedule.
City council approved the personnel policy handbook for fiscal year 2025–26, adopting a single substantive amendment to clarify leave accrual for reemployed workers.
Under the change, employees who leave city employment and are rehired within one year may retain the same vacation and leave accrual rate they had when they left, provided they return within that 12-month window. Councilmember discussion framed the amendment as an incentive to rehire known, experienced employees.
The handbooks' approval was moved and adopted by roll call. Staff said other handbook content remains unchanged and that the revision meets the council’s intent to make personnel updates more administratively manageable without requiring new ordinances each time.
